Revenue generated at Maryland casinos, including the share that goes to the Purse Dedication Account, was down in November compared with the numbers recorded in November 2019, according to statistics from Maryland Lottery and Gaming.

The six casinos produced $130.37 million in revenue in November, down 7.4% from $140.83 million for the same month a year ago. When casinos resumed operations the third week of June after a three-month COVID-19 shutdown, they were permitted to operate at 50% capacity. Because of further restrictions in the city, Horseshoe Baltimore has been operating at 25% for more than a month.
